Developing application(s) showing the added value of CERIF-based contextual metadata (on top of or as addtion to LOD-applications, Repositories). (e.g. not only finding publications of an author, but also his professional network, the projects he works on, etc...).

5. EuroCRIS services project Issue: choice of web content management platform for the euroCRIS Services environment (including also other services as e.g. described by Valerie). Given work already done by the LOD-TG, DRUPAL may be the right choice. See also Valerie's suggestion to use the LMS DRUPAL Open Scholar.
